Good advise Gryff.................to BOTH OF US. !! thank you.
You're very welcome.
Yes, drawings will stay on newsprint. Up until a few years ago I still had my newsprint sketches from college. They are from over 30 years ago. I wouldn't use it for stuff you want to frame and look at all the time because they will discolor with age. I had mine in a portfolio, so the light didn't hit them and they stayed very well. It was really interesting to look at the quick sketch exercises. They're kind of amazing, actually. Not hang-on-the-wall good, but fascinating nonetheless.
I think the idea here K is to buy something cheap so that you're not intimidated by experimenting with "good" (expensive, acid free) paper and then just let yourself go Newsprint is pretty cheap. I use to buy it loose, hundreds of sheets at a time.

Exactly!!! K, think of these sketches as throwaways. Not to keep. Not to treasure. Not to fuss over. Not to turn into finished drawings. They're just exercises. No one EVER has to see them. These are for totally letting go and experimenting. Free yourself of the thought that you have to do a "work of art" and just try things, stretch yourself. It's one of the hardest things to learn, and something all of us struggle with at some point or other. The letting go of the final result and just enjoying the journey of growing.
LS, feel free to butt in anytime!!!
